Hello,
I am trying to make a frequency multiplier with a single diode. Could you please kind enough to help me. The thing is I am inteersted in getting 10.5 GHz from 5.25 GHz Rf power. I am using a schottky diode, which has a Conversion Loss of 14 dB. And when I attach it to the matching networks on either ends, the loss increases while the return losses no doubt improve.
Is there any trade off between return losses and conversion loss. How can I improve my multiplier, that is work efficiently? Is theer any mathematical relationship to let me know how much power levels one can achieve at particular diode?
Thank you
